John 5:1-4

¹After these things there was the feast of the Jews, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

²Now in Jerusalem, by the Sheep Gate, there is a pool called Bethesda, in Hebrew, which has five porches.

³In them a large number of sick people were lying—blind, lame, paralyzed—waiting for the moving of the water;

⁴because an angel would go down from time to time into the pool and stir up the water—then the first one to get in after the stirring of the water became well of whatever disease that was holding him.
